DENTON, Md. -Jok Walsh and Michael McCrea of
the Maryland based Caroline
County Historical Society are still looking for someone
who would like to purchase the conservatory donated to the society
by Tanglewood
Conservatories last year.
Jok says that the society is involved with the
preservation of 23 building and historic sites in the Caroline
County area and would like to use to money to create a capital
projects fund.
"We plow every cent we've got into our projects",
he says. "We don't have any money in the bank account. This
constitutes the biggest gift we've ever gotten."
The donated conservatory is already boxed and
ready to go. It measures about 13 feet wide by 22 feet long
and is about 13 feet tall at the ridge of its hip roof. See
our blog from November 30th to see the specifications in complete
detail.
Walsh spoke to reporters covering the story at
length of Tanglewood Conservatories' quality and name recognition
in the conservatory business. "They make a very high quality
product that is sold all over the United States."
"Hopefully, this donation will give us a bit
of a nest egg", added Michael McCrea. The Caroline County Historical
Society will possibly hold an auction for the conservatory in
the near future.
